The Audi TT Roadster is every bit as convincing as the Coupe. It’s not the last word in handling poise, but is more playful and better to drive than ever. It’ll flatter the talents of even the most timid driver, has performance and refinement in spades, and as an ownership proposition, it’s close to perfect, thanks mainly to its smart interior and frugal engines.

The Audi A3 Cabriolet is the best compact convertible there is. It’s effortlessly stylish, dripping with quality and it’s fun yet comfortable to drive. That’s all a good drop-top needs, but the A3 provides much more besides. Thoroughly recommended.

If you long for supercar pace, but you can’t make do with two seats and a tiny boot, then the Audi RS6 could well be the car for you. It may be a sensible executive estate with five seats and an enormous loadbay, but the performance it provides is anything but sensible.

With its combination of decent practicality, smart (but understated) good looks, excellent quality and low running costs, the Audi A3 Sportback is worth considering by anyone looking for a car in this market.

The split personality of the latest Audi RS4 is something to be applauded. At cruising pace and around town it remains refined and comfortable. But at the flick of a switch and it turns into a completely different animal - loud, responsive and heart-stoppingly quick.
